Huawei Unveils Four Innovative All-Optical Solutions to Build AI-Centric F5.5G Networks
Huawei recently introduced four groundbreaking all-optical solutions designed to facilitate the construction of AI-centric F5.5G networks at the Green All-Optical Network Forum, held during MWC 2025 in Barcelona. Kim Jin, Vice President of Huawei Optical Product Line, highlighted how these solutions could create a win-win situation in the rapidly evolving smart era.
The global AI industry is witnessing unprecedented growth, catalyzing the commercial deployment of 10 Gbit/s broadband home networks and all-optical metropolitan networks with a latency of just 1 ms. Huawei's innovative offerings are crucial for global operators, enabling them to implement end-to-end network solutions effectively.
As AI continues to gain traction, operators are urged to upgrade to 50G-PON technologies to ensure widespread 10GE access. Last year, Huawei launched its first intelligent OLT solution, the MA5800T X17. In response to diverse capacity demands, the company is now presenting the X15, X8, and X2 models. These solutions boast the highest industry-level transfer capabilities and support high-density 50G-PON configurations, empowering operators to establish future-ready networks for the next decade. With a port density of 16, the ability to replace stocks one-for-one becomes feasible. The new FAN Intelligent Engine architecture, in collaboration with NCE, supports application-level private line services, optimizes Wi-Fi between multiple users, and enhances on-demand computing power allocation, driving the realization of "Network as A Service" (NaaS).
Additionally, Huawei’s AI-focused all-optical metropolitan architecture, launched last year, provides remarkable 1 ms latency for both DCA and DCI applications. The company has now introduced the industry's fastest 2T single-wavelength card solution. By employing the new TFLN modulator, Huawei has increased the single-wavelength capacity from 1.6 Tbit/s to 2 Tbit/s, effectively lowering the cost per bit by 20%. Furthermore, through its innovative ocean current energy-saving algorithm, Huawei ensures that inactive circuits are automatically shut down based on real-time traffic, achieving up to a 50% reduction in energy consumption. The solutions also include features for pre-detection and latency planning, enabling proactive detection of fiber latency, map visualization of latency, and service planning for AI applications.
In previous innovations, Huawei introduced the OSN 9800 K series, marking a significant advancement as the first industry-oriented OTN solution. The newly unveiled K12 variant accommodates a broader range of scenarios with compact tablet forms. With an enhanced FEC algorithm, K12 boasts a 30% improvement in performance over distances of 1,000 km at 800 G. It minimizes optical rerouting time from 10 seconds to below 50 milliseconds, optimizing fiber spectrum usage for hybrid ASON configurations and maintaining a network uptime of 99.9999%. Additionally, seamless switching, made possible by a fast deduplication algorithm with dual-power and dual-reception, ensures efficient AI computing.
Huawei's iMaster NCE integrates AI technology for intelligent management and control. For all-optical access, HBB Agent can proactively identify quality issues and rectify defects in under a minute, effectively reducing user complaints by 60%. For all-optical transmissions, this digital card can detect network service risks and autonomously resolve issues within 15 minutes.
Kim Jin emphasized, "AI is rapidly transforming the world and providing unparalleled opportunities for optical networks." He reaffirmed Huawei's commitment to innovation, aiding operators in constructing high-quality, efficient AI-centric all-optical F5.5G networks and embracing new opportunities in this evolving landscape.
